Personal Prayer
Praise God, the source of light and Light. Be thankful for the times you’ve felt the Lord’s face shining on you (Ps. 80:3). Confess that you sometimes turn your face from God’s. Commit yourself to seeking God’s leading. Ask him for confirmation of new directions.

For Your Family and Friends
Petition God to channel peace and clarity through you to family and friends who flounder. Commit yourself to staying close to God, so your life models his leading.

For the Church
Intercede for leaders in your church, so they recognize and know how to carry out Christ’s plan for your church. Pledge to express genuine appreciation; God may use your thanks to confirm something for a church leader.

For the Kingdom
Pray that Christian leaders around the world will be led by the Lord alone (Deut. 32:12), despite political, economic, and ethnic ties.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to show you one person who will welcome your spiritual maturity in their life.
